Very lovely friendly server name Mariam. She was pleasant and on point with refills and asking if each of our meals and appetizers and desserts were. She even shared with us how she came to New Brunswick from Egypt. Polite, professional and always smiling, she served us within a good amount of time even though the restaurant was busy. Food was delicious as always.
Kaitlyn was our server and she was amazing. Angie the manager was amazing as well, she’s the sweetest. Great food & great customer service.
My husband and I came for Lunch, and it was great! He had the pizza and fries, and the portions were huge! I had the all you can eat soup, salad and garlic loaf. All three were great, especially the tomato soup! Very flavorful! The staff were super friendly and attentive. Great overall experience!
The price for mediocre pasta is not in balance. I ordered one dish for $27.99 and the quality and quantity of food was not close to that price tag unfortunately. I have been a fan of East side's for many years but the quality has dropped and the price has escalated. My son tried the seafood linguine, they sent it out with the wrong sauce and he got sick from poorly cooked seafood. We brought my elderly mother and her meal was not even hot. Do not go if you have a family, it's not budget friendly.
If you're looking for a place to have a nice relaxing family dinner or to go out with your girlfriends or your Bible study group, I would absolutely find someplace else to go. One recent trip showed us how bad the service is and how bad management is at this location. We booked a room for our Bible study group and when we got there they gave it away to another group of people. They put us at the bar and most of our people are seniors and most of them are over 70. Getting up on those bars tools is not easy. Try doing it as an 84-year-old. While trying to get up on this bar stool, my 84-year-old mother injured herself. Management did nothing about it. With regards to the room they had booked , management made comments like they couldn't have the room they booked and gave it to a birthday party instead and the management told them that they're going to be serving that room first even though they had booked it previously and had arrived before them. They could have put them at a table somewhere, instead of at the bar. Not to mention they were there for 3 hours. The food didn't arrive for an hour and a half. Management's solution was to offer them 10% off the order. This is very bad service, it's unprofessional and typical of this location. Bad service. Not a customer oriented restaurant, it's more about money for them. Service means nothing to them. Getting food out to their people In a timely manner means nothing. Somebody booking a room means nothing to them. Let alone an 84-year-old woman who got injured in their store and they could care less. I absolutely would not go back to this place and I'd recommend for you to find someplace else to eat. You will have a better experience somewhere else. One note, while reading this you may think that the person writing it is bitter because their mother was hurt, while that could be part of it, I and other people that I know have had the same experience at this restaurant. December 13 As a follow-up to this review, my mother is still experiencing a lot of pain with her leg as a result of the very poor decision making of this business. There are people who had experiences as I had that got no resolution, so just because the owner comes on and asks you to fill out a form, don't buy it, they won't do anything, don't go here.
Amazing service the server bought me my soup and bread so fast and steaming hot. The food is a little on the bad side the lettuce In the saled was tasting old and had many black spots, it also had 4 Crouton only. I tried the Chicken Parmesan and the chicken was soft and the breading felt like it sat there for 7 hours. The look is great they have tables for different number of people, 2, 4, 6, 8.
Excellent service , great food, lovely atmosphere and friendly servers, special thanks to our server Pratik S, who went above and beyond with his outstanding customer service
The pizza impresses with its well-balanced crust and rich cheese, perfectly complemented by a vibrant tomato sauce. The mozzarella sticks are a crispy, cheesy joy, paired excellently with a zesty marinara. For dessert, the triple chocolate mousse is a triumph, layering different chocolate intensities into a luxuriously smooth experience.
Pur waitor Hamilton was fantastic food was delicious
Molly was absolutely amazing!!!!! They are lucky to have her
Spicy chicken parm was amazing and our waiter Gabe provided excellent service Parking: Free parking was available beside restaurant. Food : 5/5 |
N awesome place
We had a very nice lunch as a family of seven. Mikaela was our server, and she was very attentive and kind. For a large group, we didnt have to wait long at all for them to set up a table for us, and the atmosphere was very fun. The food was tasty, though their salad quality was not as good as we have previously had (cheaper bacon and croutons, smaller portions,etc.). Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly! Our 6yo spilled water all over and they were quick to respond and very kind, didnt make him feel bad at all.
Mariam is awesome!
Mariam G was so fantastic! Fast service and super friendly!
Mariam G was our server and she was wonderful, we had a fantastic girls lunch. Happy holidays
Mariam G was an excellent server!
Parking: Was there today for a Christmas dinner & service was great. Angie, & Brian were very attentive to our needs for 25 of us Food
Got the family special, spaghetti and meatballs and sausage penne. Every piece of sausage was burnt to a crisp. Obviously the cook has no pride in their work and there is no quality control.Doubt if I was dining in I would have received this. Took pictures but dont see where to add them. Spend $60 plus dollars to treat your family and you get burnt offerings
Kid-friendliness: Awesome Food
Emma was very sweet and friendly. If she hadnt let us know she was new, I wouldnt have known. Very attentive!!!

The server was very nice but we waited along time for soup, salad a s bread. Also, there was hair in the soup and the bread was way overcooked and hard. I have had bad experiences here before and was giving them another chance. Was a disappointment.
Pratik was an exceptional server, great recommendations
Thank you for the great service Heather !
This evening our family of 5 ( 3 young kids ) decided to have an early supper at East Side Marios. The food is always hot and tasty. Our server Makayla was amazing! Very fast and friendly service. Makayla was extremely professional and is absolutely the type of personality that East Side Marios should be searching for to represent the company and resturant chain!! It is because of the level of service she provided we will always be return customers! Thanks for filling our bellies!!
Parking: Amazing parking Food

Michaela was excellent at her job! Attentive and friendly. Thanks for a value experience with quality food and service.
Service was excellent and food was very good. Our server was Makayla....this young woman is one of the best servers i have ever dealt with at ANY restaurant!
Our family went out for a meal here, first time in a while and had a good experience last time. We waited 30 minutes for a seat even though the restaurant was half empty and they said their wait staff was just starting ( at 5 pm) we gladly sat at the bar to wait. The waiter didn t know anything about drinks available- there were fruit flies everywhere around the bar area and on the taps- the server had to swat them out of the way to pour my beer. Once we got our table we sat for 20 minutes without anyone tending to us. We ordered everything at once knowing the service was going to be slow. Asked for water to start but didn t even recognize my two year old daughter who needed a drink. I had to pour my water into her juice cup she got from the bar as we didn t see the server again for 20 minutes. Once the food came it was sub par- I could have made the same meal at home- noodles with some sauce we didn t order and pre cooked chicken thrown in. The salad was made with Mayonnaise it seemed. It was and overall terrible experience and I won t be back- paying over 80$ for a meal and experience that was horrendous hurt me. As I was paying the debit machine asked if I would recommend to a friend absolutely not!!
Makayla was great! Very friendly. Took good care of us
Pratik was an amazing server. He was quick and friendly. And the food was really good
Pratik was our server, he was great!

Wonderful new manager, staff were awesome- great atmosphere!
Caitlyn was a amazing bar tender she suggested and made really good drinks for us thanks for the great service
Super friendly service!
I used to love going to Eastside Mario s. However, I went there recently on a Sunday afternoon and all you could hear is yelling and screaming from the kitchen and foreign music playing. It sounded so unprofessional. I don t really want to go to a place where people like that are hired. Anyway, I won t be going back and I don t usually leave reviews, but I highly suggest that you check in on your staff And take a good hard look at the people you hire to run the restaurant . I will say, though that I ve never had any issues with your waitresses.
Favourite restaurant! Excellent service :)
Kid-friendliness: This is a nice family restaurant Food
We were seated at 5:32pm, made our drink order, followed promptly by our food order. They didnt bring bread to the table, half the salads didnt arrive, along with 2 of the drinks. We had to ask for them at least 3x until finally a manager was summoned and she was able to bring us the remaining 3 salads, one drink, and bread at 6:25pm. And a bottle of water about 5 minutes after that. We waited for our mains, and my daughters order was wrong. It took them 20 minutes to fix it. We were all done eating by the time it came back out. The entire time, we watched as the tables around us were promptly served drinks, bread, and salads within minutes of being seated. The food was a pretty big disappointment, too. Dont try the ravioli soup. It tastes like Chef Boyardee canned pasta.
Loved every bit of our meal ! Especially being served by meatball the robot! Servers were fast, friendly and capable! Would definitely recommend & will be returning next time we are in Fredericton !
Very good service and the food was quick and delicious. My son had his birthday here tonight and we were all pleased with our visit.
Angela went out of her way to look after our family very much appreciated! She really made our night Parking: Lots of parking Kid-friendliness: Great chillers our kids love and the robot is also a hit!
Never go to this place on Friday nights for my famliy it took us hour and a half to go from check in and paying the bill yes food is good not a hour and 15 minutes good
Caitlyn did a great job serving my family and I lastnight!
We had a great time and an excellent meal celebrating a birthday.
Love coming here. The salad, soup and bread combo is delicious. Pasta dishes are always fantastic. And now they have a robot server....so cool!

Too many flies buzzing around. Parking: Good. Food : 5/5 |
Actually didn t even eat. We arrived at an almost empty restaurant with all the servers and hostesses standing there. We were told we would have to wait while they figured out how to move a table for another party. We waited 15 mins and then when they came to seat us we asked for a booth we could see an entire row of empty booths but they told us no because they didn t have enough servers for us to have a booth anyway ended up being seated in a small dark room at the back of the restaurant, we ended up just leaving.
He
Partial S. was our server, he was fantastic and I would recommend anyone to request him as their server! Very polite and professional Parking: Plenty

Good food, good service. Shout out to the Harpers and our server Makayla!
We had a terrible experience there tonight. We went for a birthday supper. The restaurant was half empty, and we were told we had to wait until 530 to be seated. Our server was extremely slow. Waited 30 minutes just to get drinks. Waited another 20 minutes to get our salads. Waited an hour for the meals, only for them to be wrong and returned to be corrected. Once corrected, the corrected food was cold. We were here 2 months ago and had a wonderful experience. But after todays experience, I have no desire to return. No apologizes were made for the wait/delay for the food as well.
We had a terrible experience tonight. We came for my friend s birthday. We had a reservation for 5:30, we arrived at 5:20 and were asked to wait until 5:30. The restaurant was half empty and the table we were sat at was empty when we arrived so not sure why we were asked to wait. Waited 30 mins for our drinks and another 20 for salads/soups. Food came out 15-20 mins later and it was wrong so had to be remade. Waited 10-15 more mins and the food (besides what was fixed) was cold. The service was not what I expected based on previous experiences, slow service, poor knowledge on menu items, and just generally unorganized. After this, we will not be returning.
Have to give it 2 stars and why you ask. When you see the hostesses wiping down tables then using the same rag to wipe down chairs, and booths then back to the table, returning that same rag in a bucket to do it over again, sure there is bleach in it but wiping someones ass sweat then wiping the table with same rag is NASTY....DO BETTER.
Fast and great service
Very nice place, the meal was excellent I recommend it. Our waitress Sun is wonderful. Gave us very good service. THANKS!! Parking: Yes lots of space
Salad and bread still good. Service by Mollie, super friendly and in French. Scallop pasta wrapped in super good bacon. Chicken parmigiana rather ordinary and bland. Generous portion.
Always great food! Speedy and reliable service. Comfortable atmosphere and always welcoming. Kid-friendliness: Awesome kids menu! Great prices
We had a lovely experience. The waiter was very nice and checked on us often. The food was good, even my picky toddler ate enough food. The washrooms could be cleaner, the floors were sticky. We received a free appetizer for next time. So all in all we will be back as a family. Food
Thank you Heather for the wonderful service
Very bad experience. Waitress was super racist. Waited 15 min for table at empty restaurant, then 15 min just for water. Food came in great. But the aggressive waitress was back again while we were having our food and asked if we need boxes for our food. She was just trying to kick us out while eating. I am a great fan of East side marios and their garden salad but this particular experience was 0/10. I dont know her name but she was young thin blonde girl. Hopefully management sees this and put some table waiting wisdom into her.
I was at east side Mario last night with family asked for ceaser salad took 15 mins I ordered meal that comes with all you can eat salad and bread and soup my daughter did same we got one salad and 2 bread thing I asked many times to 2 waiters that asked if anything else I said more ceaser salad and refill of pop my 1and half I got 1 refill and 1 salad we were very discourage if their busy leave big bowl salad and picture of our drink choice
Went out for dinner with the family. Restaurant was study but wasnt swamped with people. Service was really lacking. Took forever to get our beverages. Rarely seen our server. But the food was awesome
Very good service, the waiter, Sam was super nice. Food came in Fast. Drinks were very good
Heather was amazing, very friendly and informative. Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu!! Food : 5/5 |
Food was fast, drinks were good, Caitlynn was the best!
Delicious and our waitress Katelyn was so nice!
Unfortunately, used to be an enjoyable dinning experience, but host service in this location went downhill.Food quality still good but service quality way below the standards
The manager of the food delivery from kitchen to table was the worse I have ever experienced . The server was overwhelmed and management failed big time to give her the help she needed. 3 hours from start to finish for 4 adults and 3 children, one which wanted to celebrate his birthday at ESM. Extremely disappointed
Pretty good experience
Fast food and great meal
We went to East side for supper tonight and I feel the need to warn others of our experience. I see other similar comments and wish I would have checked this first! Our first red flag should have been that we were told we had to wait for a seat even though there were many empty tables. We ordered our drinks and food, got the drinks and bread nothing seemed out of sorts. 40 mins later our waitress said let me check on your food? After an hour of waiting the food finally arrived. My food was barely warm I returned it pretty much immediately (without much of an apology) She did offer to remake it but I did not wish to wait another hour. Then I decided to try a piece of my son s pizza and was also barely warm. Onto my other child s chicken nuggets also cold. My husbands meal however extremely fresh and hot! When she asked how everything was she said well his is hot, referring to my husbands meal. I believe the waitress already knew the food was sitting for a long time and I can t belive they thought it was suitable to serve to us. They did comp my meal and discount the kids but this is warning to others to avoid it!!! Don t waste your time and money what a terrible experience
Took a while to get seated and the food is ok.
Very good food and great service. The only thing that made it loose a point is that the music was really loud.
It was a nice meal with friendly service.
Great service. Will come again.
We had an amazing lunch to celebrate my daughter passing her drivers test. Heather did an amazing job and very friendly.
Heather had amazing hospitality! Very kind and super attentive.

Had such an amazing meal! Our waitress Sam was an absolute gem. The best service I ve ever had in a restaurant. Will definitely be back!
Chicken parm was good and love the starter included with the meal. Our server didn t come around too often.
It was super busy, so they couldve used another server as it took some time to get to us. But once our server got to us, no complaints!
Out of the ordinary service (Sat) Very good meal
Angela is exceptional. Best server we have had here yet.
Annabelle made this experience amazing. What a wonderful server !!! A big thank you ! Kid-friendliness: Annabelle was amazing with our 4 year old !!!
Very slow service on my last visit, tried again today and was there for over 20 minutes, ordered after about 10 minutes and after another 10 minutes I still wasnt after getting any bread or salad for my all you can eat order. Cancelled my order and walked out.
Had a wonderful meal and looking forward to coming back. Brandy was friendly and checked on our table often to make sure we had we needed. Food was delicious and portions so large we had more than enough leftovers for another meal at home. Yum!
Great meal good service :))
Good food & great service from Nick!

Great place to enjoy a meal. Service was top notch and the staff really enjoy the atmosphere as much as the guests. If youre in the mood for Italian food, check it out.
Delicious as always. We went on a holiday and there were few people here, service was great.
Heres the revised review: --- We went to East Side Mario s on Thursday night around 8:30 PM, and there were maybe five tables seated. We sat there for almost 30 minutes with no one coming to take our drink order. We had to fetch a server ourselves. Upper management only offered one free appetizer for the three of us. Even after that, we sat for another 20 minutes before being asked for our full order. Finally, the food arrived on a robot with no waiter to actually serve us, so we had to get it off ourselves. When it was time to pay, the waiter took another 10 minutes to bring us our boxes and bills. By the end of it, we were there from 8:30 to 10:10 PM. This was the worst service ever. I will never eat there again.
Katie made our experience very great! She was kind and pleasant :). Her kindness made our dinner an awesome experience!
Food was fine, but dont waste your money on anything all you can eat, unless youre happy with one salad, lucky to see a server until youre entrée arrives.
Im always happy when we get Heather as a server. She remembers us and is fast with our order.
The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very calming! Our server Heather was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed and checked in on us :) would come here again!
Our server Heather was very nice, and made sure we had everything we needed! We had a lovely experience :))
Always the best food and great service. Nice setting for any occassion.
Awesome food and good service with Brandon.
